All the New Music We've Added to Our Playlists in July

Another gut-wrenching track from Simz' upcoming album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, "I Love You, I Hate You" is a powerful tribute to Simz' relationship with her father. Speaking about the track on Annie Mac's show, the rapper said that "this is too honest, and too real, and really scary. I didn't think I'd have to go this deep but I'm glad I did.

"Slowly" is the latest track from Olivia Dean's upcoming EP, Growth. First premiered during Dean's run of intimate shows at the iconic Jazz Cafe last month, the track is a sweet and soulful ballad, with extremely tender vocals.

In a statement, Dean said that "it feels like one of the most vulnerable songs I've ever written. I used to think falling in love was supposed to be chaotic, fiery and tumultuous, but I've realised that really, to fall in love normally — and to have a healthy and ordinary relationship is a beautiful thing. It's a song asking for patience when starting to fall in love."

A pretty iconic collaboration between Dave and Stormzy, "Clash" is a confident and assured track with sharp, witty lyrics. It almost acts as a recap of the last few months, with Stormzy reminding us all about that feud with Chip, Piers Morgan's dramatic exit from Good Morning Britain, and Dave giving both Jeremy Corbyn and the entire Labour party a shoutout.

"Kamali" is the latest single from Swiss-Tamil artist Priya Ragu, taken from her upcoming EP damnshestamil. The video features clips from an award-winning short film that shares the same name.

New music from Mae Muller is always welcome, and this time she's been featured on a track by British punk rapper Master Peace, called "Boyfriend". It's an up-beat track with distinctive vocals and a very catchy chorus.

Laura Mvula's return to music has been a magical one (no pun intended), and her newest single is proof of just that. It's another glorious disco track, with shimmery vocals, and a mesmerising visualiser.

Beka's latest track, "You Got", is inspired by Kamala Harris making history as the first ever female, African-American, and Asian-American Vice President. All about making positive change and inspiring the future, it's a poignant track with an incredibly powerful message.

It's been a minute since we've heard new music from Nao, and you'll be pleased to know that her latest release, "Messy Love," is exactly the kind of track we've been waiting for. It's a soft, slow-tempo song with soulful vocals and some unbelievable harmonies, perfect for lazing in the (hopefully soon-to-come) summer sun.

"Learning Curve" is another classic Aitch anthem, complete with a glitchy backing track and the dexterous flow that we're so used to hearing. The video sparked some debate on social media, questioning whether or not Aitch's inclusive casting was genuine or not, but we're glad to see that representation in the music video industry is finally changing.

Doja Cat and The Weeknd on a track together is undoubtedly a match made in heaven. Their latest collaboration, "You Right", is a melodious partnership with some seriously soothing vocals and cosmic visuals. Elements of the video are seemingly Grecian-inspired, and it sees Doja Cat in some very impressive outfits.

"Bad Habits" marks quite a different sound for Ed Sheeran, and it appears to be his first solo dance track. The video starts off with Sheeran at a hair salon, in a look that we can only describe as "the joker-esque", before he flies across the city.

Chatting to James Corden on The Late Late Show, Sheeran said, "my single was scheduled to come out in June, and I was like, 'I don't know if the world needs a depressing sad, slow acoustic song when it's all opening up,' so I was in the studio and we created this song and it's just fun, I think".

"Dreams" is one of the first new tracks from Gorgon City's upcoming album, Olympia, and it's a great indication of what's next to come. In a statement, the band said, "with this record we've definitely gone more clubby and have been inspired by the big shows that we played before lockdown. It's a bigger sound and lyrically it's different for us."
